Tips for healthy eating with executive functioning challenges

• Have the same structure for dinner every week. For example, Sunday is pizza, Monday is chicken, Tuesday is fish, Wednesday is pasta, Thursday is ground beef, Friday is vegetarian, and Saturday is beef.
• Choose simple recipes. For example, chicken, beef, or fish topped with a store-bought seasoning mix or jarred marinade or  and baked. 
• Make partially prepared foods a part of your meal routine. For example, use frozen vegetables or instant/quick-cook grain mixes as sides. 
• Prepare breakfast the night before to be grabbed on your way out in the morning. For example, add the ingredients for overnight oats to a container or spoon yogurt or cottage cheese and fruit into a container. Put a spoon on top of the container in the fridge to have one less thing to remember in the morning. 
• You don't need to eat "breakfast foods" for breakfast or "dinner foods" for dinner. Do what works for you. For example, scrambled eggs and whole wheat toast can be dinner or leftover chicken and rice can be a filling breakfast.
